It's....the rustle of the vestments...deafening. And then when the priest opens the altar missal - aargh! my eardrums.
But if you really would like a noisy Mass, come tomorrow, on the Feast of The Assumption, to The Church of The Sacred Heart in Morriston, just outside Swansea.
We are having a Sung Mass......but you won't need earplugs......we have The Newcastle Emlyn Schola and their angel voices.
I prefer quiet Masses too, but each to his own, as long as Rome approves I say.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Mass, lovely, reverent.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that makes it unnatural to me are the different camera angles shown, since I'm so used to seeing our celebrant's back! It was a long time before I recognised his face, but then I wasn't there to look at Father, but the Lord.
With all the beauties of a Sung Mass, I have to admit usually the quiet of the Low Mass stirs my soul more. Thanks very much for sharing this.
